New York – (June 15, 2021) – ASI Group (ASI), the world’s leading manufacturer of washroom accessories, toilet partitions, lockers, and visual display products, announced today it has launched its new BIM Content Library for architecture, design, and construction professionals.
Observing the building design industry’s rapid adoption of BIM processes, ASI acknowledges the importance of continued investment in BIM to ensure they are providing specifiers with high-quality, practical design tools.
The new Revit library includes content for a vast range of commercial washroom accessories, storage solutions, and partitions. All families have been developed 100% natively in Revit with the objective of finding balance between functionality, documentation output, visualization capabilities, and performance in a Revit project environment.
All families are created with a keen attention to detail in areas such as Family and Shared Parameters, 2D line work, Origin Points, Family/Type Naming, Product Data Integration, Reference Planes, application of Materials, Classification, and File Size.
In addition to the creation of Revit families, the ASI Revit library also includes Revit Project Files (.RVT) or “Virtual Showrooms,” with Families and Family Types loaded into the projects. These Project Files provide designers with an efficient way to browse the Revit library for each product range in its entirety, to view how the families document consistently in a project environment, and to see how some of the more parametric families can be configured to achieve creative, inspiring project designs.
“Solutions Architecture has used BIM since our inception, and we rely on it every day to provide our clients with realistic renderings of what their finished product will look like,” said Frank Messineo at Solutions Architecture. “BIM content from manufacturers is no longer a ‘nice to have’; it is a ‘must have.’ ASI’s BIM Content Library is of very high quality and is a great resource that allows us to meet our clients’ expectations.”
The overarching goal in creating this new Revit content library is to increase the ease with which Revit users are able to design, document, and specify ASI products within the Revit environment.
To assist Revit users with assessing, browsing, and utilizing the library, ASI also created a “Content Video Guide.” The video guide provides an overview of the library and insights into the Revit family creation methodology and, in conjunction with the Virtual Showroom, can be used to browse the entire library of families within a single Revit project.
ASI is committed to the continued maintenance and development of this Revit content library as the industry and BIM workflows evolve over time.
The ASI Revit library is currently available via the following family of ASI websites:
